Afternoon    Anyone tried AVG 8.0 ? and is it really FREE or just a 30 day trial 

[Rik]

Haven't tried it, but it is free.

[daveeb]

Thanks Rik I might give it a go

I believe Terry (TR) has it, Dave.

Sure am..and am very impressed so far, it seems to have everything AV as well as anti spyware and it also tells you when you are googling if the pages are safe from viruses

[Michelle]

oooh I'm gonna get that - thanks

Yes i tried it a few weeks back.

I tried to like it and wanted to like it but found it slowed my system down more than anything i've tried in the past so i got rid.


Doesn't mean it will have the same effect for everyone as i've found with others in the past 

[Michelle]

Do u use the previous one Cammy ? And if so do you find that one better?


I just tried to install 8 but it said I have ewido and I'd have to delete that before it will install?  Why can't i just have both? 

[Camstop]

Yes i had it previously shell and that was 100% fine.

Think i'm just relying on Vistas own things and my router firewall and using CCleaner every now and then.


BTW i think CCleaner is the best thing for clearing out the junk ever

probably because the way they work they will both think they are viruses!

Have used AVG free for many years, never had any infection.  Installed avg 8 free and it runs more efficiently then previous versions. It has a very clean interface and I have not noticed any impact on perormance of my machine.  I have now got to install it on my wifes and friends machines, I always try these things out first.

[Simon]

Michelle, Ewido became AVG Anti Spyware, and if AVG 8 incorporates anti spyware, it probably won't let you have both, as they are more or less one and the same.

[Simon]

Nice to see you, Alf! 

[Rik]

I always try these things out first.

I always try these thing out on others, Alf.

I've just downloaded it and it seems to be well behaved!
